    Know what you mean Hosta - my brain freezes too, trying to think of something you'll remember only to find you have no recollection next time you need it and have to get a new oneimage.

    Snow I'm pleased to hear the squirrel has recovered to normalimage.

    Lesley I have to write mine down .

    I know they say don, but I reckon a burglar is more interested in stealing my laptop  and telly than rummage through cupboards looking for a random book which might have passwords in it.

    no impertinence Gertie.

    I brought about 150 plants , not all hostas , when we moved here 4years ago. 

    As time has moved on, I've bought more. We have just under 8 acres but , at the moment , it's just for fun. OH wants me to start a business, but I don't want it to become a burden. 

    At the moment I get up and think, Oh I'll do  x y or z, I'd hate to wake up and think. Oh I have to parcel those plants up and go to the post office and I've got a million emails to answer.

    I'm having to lift my hostas in the ground and split them over the winter. I have about 300 in the cool tunnel from those I split last year, but they're very small as they were split from those I had in pots. 

    I have no idea how many I'll end up with after lifting / splitting those in the ground as I reckon there must be about 150 - 200 clumps out there.

    Gertie. About 4, maybe a bit more is young woodland, which is pretty much left to itself except after leaf fall when I mow it all up and bag in builders' dumpy sacks to rot down. We also have a "lake" 0.8 acre and apart from the area around the house it's mostly grass which on the ride on can take 7 hours to cut, but I split it down into smaller patches now.

     This was April this year. The fence beyond the drive has now gone and all those seemingly titchy hostas hit almost 1m tall by the end of the season.

    That's the lake at the bottom and the trees behind are ours , but not the field beyond

    Apologies for those who've seen this before.
